I just don't get it. BBC news has 'snow' as a major headline and they manage to report on it for at least half of the programme. The trains aren't running, the bins are overflowing, the airports are closed, the streets unnavigable. Why, oh why, can Britain never cope with anything other than extreme dampness?
Here, in Regensburg, we have just as much snow and it has pretty much been coming down constantly since we returned (3 days late due to Gatwick being closed and Easyjet being a bit rubbish). Everyone clears their own front drives and their own path - can you believe there was a news article about this happening in the UK? Here it is a foregone conclusion and, by law, has to be done before 7am. The buses are running, the schools are open, the paths gritted, the roads cleared by about 8 (even the side streets) and life generally goes on as normal. It isn't even a subject of discussion.
Max isn't particularly interested or phased either - thinks it's a bit cold, doesn't want to wear gloves but does rather like to eat snow and ice...watch out for the 'doggy poo' Mummy!
